There are just two lookup tables for the Event Manager: Event Types and Attendee Types.

Don't forget when preparing your codes to make your structure as report-friendly as you need it to be. For guidance on setting up code structures, click here.

Event Types

The codes for this tables can be up to 5 characters long. Event Types are used to classify Events by type. For example, CON - Conference, SEM - Seminar, TR - Training.

As well as just specifying the Code and Name as above, enter a Default Attendee Type - enter the code referring, for example, to Delegates for Conferences or Attendees for Seminars.

For the Event Statistics report to work, you need to enter a list for each Event Type of all of the possible types of Attendees that could be present.

Attendee types

These classify the kinds of Attendees coming on Events.

For example, on a Conference you may book a Chairman, some Speakers, members of the Press plus the Delegates. Note that the Delegate list will be sorted in order of the Code, so you may want to make these 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. When you print Badges the text you enter to the field Badges Text will get printed - you may therefore want to leave this blank for Delegates, but include it, for example, for the Chairman.
